Confused about where and how to start publicizing your website to drive traffic to your website?

How to draw the right demographic to your website?

Here are the steps to take which can start getting you traffic today:

Step 1. Make sure you have relevant content that people will need.

• If you have a website selling apples, you could simply just have a list of the types of apples you sell. Or since you know so much about apples as an apple seller, research what people would want to know about apples, and create useful content for those subjects.

Step 2. Research what people are searching for.

Step 3. Use Niche Refinery to further research potential topics and keywords.

• NicheRefinery.com is a free, very powerful tool which can be used not only to see how much traffic and competition a certain keyword is getting, but to conduct actual market research.

Step 4. Create the content.

Research can be the fun and interesting part, the harder part is getting down to business and writing the actual content.

Step 5. Design your site to make it surfable (Website Feng-Shui).

You can think of site design as feng-shui for a functional room. You put things that you look for alot in places where you can easily reach them (Compare the light switch to the menu bar)…

Step 6. Start building quality backlinks.

Getting a website to link to your site, or specifically the keyword URL you are trying to get ranked for is called a backlink, using the the same keyword as the anchor text…

Step 7: Rinse and Repeat! Create a blog for your website and update it!

Your website is a living entity and consistently adding content to your site will keep website crawlers checking back more often for unique content.
